Fair enough. I had to check my install to verify that the links were
actually there. I think that being there is good, however, I doubt the
wisdom in their location. I have installed FC serveral times, and have never
noticed those links. As much as the target audience for Fedora Core may not
be average users, I disaggree that putting them in one browser is the best
place.

To phrase this differently: niether 'Help' nor 'Home' (in FC5Test3 / KDE)
took me to anywhere I could get immediate help for Fedora.

I've always found the "Welcome to Windows" window extremely annoying, but I
would imagine that the ability to easily access similiar information would
be helpful in any OS.
